ahmad-zuhd:2209ʿAbdullāh from my father > Abū ʿAlī Tumaylah > Ibn Abū Rawwād

[Machine] There was a peacock and his companions, who, when they performed the Asr prayer, would face the Qibla and not speak to anyone, and they would fervently supplicate in their prayers.  

الزهد لأحمد:٢٢٠٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ تُمَيْلَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ قَالَ

كَانَ طَاوُسٌ وَأَصْحَابٌ لَهُ إِذَا صَلَّوْا الْعَصْرَ اسْتَقْبَلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَمْ يُكَلِّمُوا أَحَدًا وابْتَهَلُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ
